Chess king piece with a cross on its crown and a wide round base
About the Chess King Piece black filled icon
A single chess king stands upright: a small cross sits on top of a tapered crown, below it a banded collar, then a long concave stem that flares into a wide round base. The cross identifies the king specifically, so the icon carries meaning of strategy, leadership, decisive moves and winning. Works for chess apps, game lobbies, tournament brackets, business strategy presentations and competitive analysis dashboards.
The tall narrow profile with a heavy base makes it legible in a vertical list or beside other pieces, and the collar band gives a clear midpoint for the eye. Pair it with pawn, rook and chessboard icons from the library. Use it at 24 px or larger so the cross finial does not disappear.
This is the solid black filled version of the chess king piece icon: a bold silhouette that reads clearly at 16-24 px and on dark or busy backgrounds, and prints well in one colour.
It downloads free as an SVG vector or transparent PNG in seven sizes, and the free online editor lets you recolor it, apply gold, silver, neon and gradient styles, add animation, or convert it to EPS, PDF and DXF.
